❗️ATTENTION ❗️

✨We are sorry to announce that we are rescheduling our pelvic floor event to give everyone space to breathe during the holidays ✨ Stay tuned for the new date!

If your answer is somewhere between “constant” and “is this just my life now?” — let’s talk about back breathing 👇

Back breathing helps your ribs expand in all directions — not just forward into your chest or down into your belly. When you breathe into your back and sides, you:
🌬️ Encourage better rib cage mobility
💪 Reduce tension and pain in your low and mid back
🍑 Support your pelvic floor by improving pressure management
🧠 And even help your nervous system chill out — which means more calm for you and your toddler (yes, tantrum regulation starts with your breath!)

Try this:
👉 Lean forward onto your thighs
👉Head supported on ball or ball placed on top your thighs
👉 Inhale gently into your back and sides
👉 Exhale slowly, letting your ribs melt down

✨And who knows, eventually your toddler may want to join in and start learning to regulate their own nervous system! Co-regulation means everyone wins 💪🏼

✨ Movement Matters in Labor ✨

Pelvic Floor Penelope had quite a birth experience but the point is your baby needs your pelvis to have access to movement during labor!

During pregnancy, we often talk about stability — building strength, supporting your joints, and keeping your pelvis steady as your body changes.

But here’s the thing: when it comes to labor, mobility becomes just as important. 💪🏽✨

Being able to move your pelvis freely — to rock, sway, squat, shift, or change positions — helps your baby find the best path through the birth canal and can make contractions more effective (and often more comfortable!).

🌀 Mobility = space for your baby.
⚖️ Stability = support for your body.
You need both for a smoother, more empowered birth experience.

Let’s prepare your body for strength + freedom of movement!

🚫Myth Busted: Your UTERUS pushes your baby out! Your pelvic floor typically just needs to get out of the way!

We want a COORDINATED pelvic floor and core during birth. Not only lengthened and not only strong.

That’s why in pelvic floor therapy we focus on:
✨ Identifying areas of tension or asymmetry in the body
✨Breathing strategies to work with your uterus
✨ Coordination between your diaphragm + pelvic floor
✨ Safe, effective pushing techniques and positions

So remember: crunches ≠ better pushing.

👀 Spot the difference!

Same pose… two totally different effects on your pelvis. Which one do you think helps more for birth prep? 🤔

✨ Hint: BOTH can support labor—depending on how your baby moves and where you need more mobility.
